Sponsor a Child in Colombia

Take a close look at the Colombian children pictured on this page. One of them could change your life!

Life in Colombia

With a population just over 45 million, Colombia is the third-most-populous country in South America. While most South American countries struggle with inequality, poverty or violence, Colombia is plagued by all three.

The poverty rate for rural dwellers in Colombia is estimated at 80 percent.

Seventeen percent of the population lives on less than U.S. $2 a day, and 7 percent survives on less than $1 a day.

Within the population 72 percent have access to potable water, but only 25 percent have access to sewage treatment services.
